Archbishop Smith at our parish
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Archbishop Richard Smith, for his visit to our parish today. It was truly a blessing. His presence among us brought great joy and encouragement to our community. Thank you for taking the time to celebrate the Eucharist with us and for His continued pastoral care and leadership. We continue to pray for His Grace in his ministry.
Are you called to religious life?
A priest brings Jesus to people and people to Jesus. For this reason, a man who is taking the steps toward the ministerial priesthood must have a deep concern for God’s people. The priest is driven to help people grow in holiness, teach them the truths of the faith, and minister to them during the trials and joys of life. The vocation of priesthood is about leading others to heaven. Prayerful self-examination paves the road of priestly discernment.

Special Prayer Intention for Catholic Health Care
The B.C. Supreme Court is hearing the court case involving St. Paul’s Hospital pertaining to whether faith-based health care facilities are permitted to operate in accordance with their values by not providing Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD).
Please join in saying the following prayer: Lord Jesus, Divine Healer, You sought out the sick, the marginalized and those cast aside. We pray for all who receive care at St. Paul’s Hospital, for their families and loved ones, and for all healthcare workers who serve with compassion. We entrust this court case to your care. Grant wisdom to those who must decide it, that justice may prevail, and that catholic health care may continue its mission without compromise. Help us to protect those who are most vulnerable, and to build a society where every human life is sacred.

Archbishop Smith's New Year's Message
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, as we come to the close of the Jubilee Year of Hope, the Lord now calls us to carry the graces granted to us into the year ahead. Hope, once received, must be lived. Let us, then, become diligent stewards of this hope in our daily lives, drawing from the paschal mystery celebrated in the Eucharist to sustain our efforts in evangelization and service. With this in mind, I look forward to 2026 as a year in which we put the blessing of this Jubilee into action: strengthening initiatives that inspire renewal in our parishes, deepening our life of prayer and discipleship, fostering healing, and accompanying those who seek a way back to Jesus and his Church...

In loving memory
Dear Parishioners:
Our Reverend Father Vittorio Scomparin, who was our Pastor from 2000 to 2016, passed away on Sunday, July 29, 2025, in Eraclea, near Venice, Italy. He was 72 years old.
Father Vittorio was especially dedicated to the New Evangelization and introduced the Neocatechumenal Way to our Parish and to the Archdiocese of Vancouver. He assisted in establishing the Archdiocesan Missionary Seminary Redemptoris Mater of Vancouver. He oversaw the seismic upgrade and renovation of our church.
